Micronesia

Americas within a twenty-mile radius of my house. I grew up in a slightly racist household. My mom was very open-minded and willing to get to know other ethnicities and races. My dad on the other hand was not, he was very close minded and was not in favor of letting others into our society and especially our neighborhoods. I grew up with the thoughts that minorities take needed jobs, live off of welfare, reproduce to receive more welfare, steal and destroy property, and do not know how to drive properly. Throughout elementary school and middle school we had very few minority students in our class. This pattern slowly changed throughout high school. Around eight grade, a pastor in a neighboring town visited an island named Micronesia. While on this visit to Micronesia he brought back approximately fifty Micronesians. This was the first trip of many. As the Micronesians attempted to integrate into our small towns, I saw how unwilling small towns are to change and help others feel accepted. It was very obvious to me that they did not know anything about our culture, language, or the way our society functions. For example, one day while driving with my dad we met a Micronesian driving a minivan at the one and only four-way stop in my hometown. The Micronesian decided to roll through the stop sign, take a left without blinking, drive diagonal through the grocery store parking lot, park in a handicap spot, turn the hazard lights on, leave the car running with crying children…

of the top positions within the churches and state, however there are a few women’s churches ran by the elder women amongst the community. To this day many of the marrages throughout the Federal States of Micronesia are still arranged by two consenting families. These arranged marrages are usually for expanding land, increasing wealth, and increasing the families status. To this day marriage is used to bring two “clans” together to create a stronger family.

From 1947 to 2006 there were only a few sporadic cases recorded, but then in 2007 on Yap Island in the Federate State of Micronesia, more than 118 cases were reported (Charrel, Leparc-Goffart, Pas, de Lamaballerie, Koopmans, & Reusken, 2016). Following this outbreak on Yap Island, between the years of 2013-2014 there was another outbreak in the French Polynesian Islands. There were over 30,000 suspected cases (Charrel, Leparc-Goffart, Pas, de Lamaballerie, Koopmans, & Reusken, 2016). Zika,…

L. et al., 2006). These large statues are specific to Rapa Nui and examples of this site and frequency are not found on any Micronesian island. Another difference between these two areas is the use of material for implementation of these monuments. In Palau the monumental architecture created was that of earthwork complexes which use the terrain and connects groups of separate structures (Liston, J., 2009). The reason for this difference is likely due to the environment on each of these islands…

confidence, and behavior as they settle into the American culture. Micronesia is a group of tiny islands located in the pacific. The Micronesian people are from the Republic of Palau, Republic of Marshall Islands, and the Federated states of Micronesia consisting Chuuk, Yap, Pohnpei, and Kosrae.

But within each island there are…
